Question 1

I went to get a hearing aid and the dealer took an ear impression but now there's material stuck in my middle ear after the CT scan. What should I do next and which hospital is best for this? If surgery is needed, could there be complications like damage to the incus or stapes when removing the material?

Accepted Answer

Go to an ENT surgeon with expertise in otologic surgery. Extraction under microscopic guidance is safe, but risks like ossicle damage must be discussed beforehand.

Question 2

I'm dealing with regular throat infections and I'm not sure what I should stay away from or what I should eat on a daily basis to help with it. Are there any medicines or maybe some kind of chewables or syrups that I should consider using regularly? I'm really looking for some advice on how to manage this.

Accepted Answer

Given the persistent, intermittent jaw pain and normal X-ray results, consider the following next steps:

- Consult a dentist to rule out dental issues (e.g., TMJ disorder, tooth grinding)
- Schedule an appointment with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for further evaluation
- Discuss with your ENT specialist about potential referrals to other specialists (e.g., neurologist, rheumatologist)

While the pain may not be severe, it's essential to investigate the underlying cause to prevent potential complications.

Possible causes:

- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Jaw misalignment
- Nerve issues
- Arthritis or other inflammatory conditions

Question 3

I've been dealing with a throat infection for like 45 days now, and I had shivering on that very first day. Ever since then, I've had a 102 fever constantly. I've tried medications like Combiflam and Ronemox 500. The fever's finally calming down, but my throat is still really bothering me, especially when I swallow anything. It's pretty painful. Any idea what's going on or what else I can do?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

I've been experiencing this weird gut feeling in my throat lately, but there's no pain or irritation. I'm kind of wondering if I should be worried about it or if it's nothing serious. Do I need to see a doctor right away?

No need to worry consume warm foods and maintain healthy lifestyle
